This week we were asked to set up our blogs and get started with: the layout of the page; the 'Employer Research'; 'About me'; 'Work Experience'; 'Examples of Work'; and 'Reflection and Development'.
The sections work as followed:
About me:
- This section is where we talk about ourselves, what we can do, and where I want to be in the next 5 years.
Work Experience:
- Where we post where we have worked and who with.
Examples of work:
- Post videos that we have worked on, whether we edited, worked as a camera man, etc.
Reflection and Development:
- Track my skill progression weekly.
This week, was employment research week which means that I had to research into the four different production companies: Estuary TV; Synergy Grimsby CIC; Planes TV; and KNOW media. This will enable me to know my possible future employers for this module, if not the future, and it also allows research skills to expand.
With my research, I had found that: Estuary TV has got a licence to expand their viewership out towards Scarborough; Planes TV had been open for almost 40 years that film air shows around the globe; Synergy Grimsby CIC is a community run project that focus's on local projects and renting out studio space and offering audio and post production services for small prices; and KNOW media is ran by a former UCG student and his friend from Ravensbourne to follow their passion for film making. I also found out they offer corporate filming solutions, post production solutions, training and even wedding videos. (Check out my employer research section)
This week, I feel I have learnt a lot about my prospective employers and what corner of the market they tend to serve. It has also allowed me to gain ideas for filming space, extra man power on set, and/or distribution of content I may make in the future. Also, it allows me to sit and think what side of the market I wish to work in for the duration of this module, if not the rest of my professional career.
Until next week,
Joshua Parsons
